WILLIAMSBURG—For those longing for a plate full of Union Picnic's fried chicken and collard greens, some bad news. The eatery, recently DOHed, is still shuttered and may not reopen. From a tipster, "It looks like it's closed for good. Went by there last night. Newspaper covering all front windows. No more union picnic signage except up at the top of the building on the outside. Everything else is gone. Still nothing on DOH website." [EaterWire Inbox]
